AT&T Introduces ‘Green Fleet’ of Alternative-Fuel Vehicles

May 20, 2008

USA, San Antonio

Telecommunications giant AT&T Inc. has announced plans to add 105 alternative-fuel vehicles to the corporate fleet to reduce its impact on the environment and its dependence on imported oil. Included in the selection of vehicles are 25 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vans. The vehicles will roll out in various locations across the U.S. beginning in June. A Green Technology insignia will make the vehicles easy to identify on the road. AT&T estimates that its use of alternative-fueled and more fuel-efficient vehicles will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 124 metric tons and conserve nearly 34,395 gallons of fuel annually. In particular the CNG vans are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 30 percent compared with traditional gasoline vans. 

Stephe Yborra, director of Market Analysis, Education and
Communications for NGVAmerica,
said, "AT&T’s use of CNG vans, powered solely by America’s abundant
natural gas … will help
our nation improve air quality and reduce reliance on foreign oil."

"Reducing our fleet’s petroleum fuel consumption and operating costs is
a top priority," said Jerome Webber, vice president of Fleet
Operations, AT&T Services Inc. "Even the smallest improvement in
fuel use, when applied across our corporate fleet, can make a
significant impact for the environment and for our business. That’s why
we’re committed to identifying smart ways to improve the efficiency of
our fleet and to exploring advancement with alternative-fuel
technologies."

The vehicles will be operational
components of AT&T’s fleet. AT&T will measure and track fuel
efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions, operating costs, performance and
driver satisfaction of each vehicle.
